Add [http://parcellite.sourceforge.net/ Parcellite] to the default (non-upgrade) installation and session for Fedora, using the new daemon mode option ('' 'parcellite --daemon' '').

Users should never lose the contents of their clipboard when closing an application. In order to address this potential usability and adoption barrier – without requiring any special configuration or knowledge on the part of the user (it will ''"just work!"''), and without cluttering-up the user interface – Fedora should include [http://parcellite.sourceforge.net/ Parcellite] in the default (''non-upgrade'') installation and session, using the daemon mode option ('' 'parcellite --daemon' '').

Runs completely in the background and is transparent to the end-user. When an application is closed (in a current default installation of Fedora), the contents of the clipboard (if copied from the just-closed window) are generally lost. This is a source of frustration for many users – especially those who are in transition from Windows to Linux. The daemon mode option of Parcellite allows the user to paste previously-copied text into another application after the first application (the one from which the text originated) is closed. This is the behavior that many Windows users have come to expect. The result can be achieved without adding unnecessarily to user-visible configuration or interface clutter commonly associated with full-featured clipboards. There is no need for added complexity, point-and-click interaction, or clipboard-specific key combinations – the user need only press the familiar 'Ctrl-V' sequence.

[edit] "Windows-style" copy & paste that "just works!" (by default), so that clipboard contents are never lost
